I thought this was a cute premise, but, like most story anthologies, some of the stories were amazing and some were duds. I was reading this on a mobile device so the pictures didn't show very clear. I would have liked to see them better. The prompt is a fun idea, but I could see how difficult it was to create a comprehensive story in the short word count, especially one that met the child's expectations.

This book is a compilation put together to raise money for an amazing charity and to tell the stories of some pretty spectacular kids who are True Heroes in real life as they battle cancer at a very young age.
The stories in the book are inspired by or made up for these kids. If I had my "official story critic" hat on I'd probably give most of them three stars. But that's not what this book is about. Like I said before, it's about these kids and their dreams, and I'd give them five stars, a hundred stars, all the stars in the sky if I could!
So that's where the four-star rating came from, in case you were wondering. If you're considering buying this book, please do. The photographs are beautiful, the kids are incredible, and the cause is truly worthy.
